# Val Thorens

No other ski resort in Europe is as close to the sky as Val Thorens. This famous winter sports village in the Rhône region of the French Alps sits at an altitude of 2,300 metres and offers incredible views of both the French Alps and the Italian and Swiss Alps, making it the highest ski resort in Europe. And that's not the only reason why Val Thorens is one of France's favourite destinations for winter sports enthusiasts, as Val Thorens is not only the highest point, but also the top of a fabulous ski area: Les Trois Vallées, which with its three valleys and 600 kilometres of piste is considered to be the largest ski area in the world. This means that Val Thorens is not only the gateway to a ski resort of incomparable dimensions, but also, thanks to its unrivalled altitude and its absolute guarantee of snow, especially due to the proximity of the 3,200 metre high ‘home glacier’ Cime de Caron, it also offers a unique and incomparable setting with spectacular views of over 1,000 peaks. If you prefer to stay in Val Thorens at the beginning of your skiing holiday, there is also a wide choice of 68 runs with 140 kilometres of slopes perfectly linked to each other by 30 lifts that cover the entire resort from the lowest point of the Val Thorens ski area.
